Amador, CA

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The public lands identified below have been examined and found 
suitable for disposal pursuant to sections 203 and 209 of the Federal 
Land Policy and Management Act of October 21, 1976 (90 Stat. 2750-51; 
43 U.S.C. 1713, and 90 Stat. 2757-58, 43 U.S.C. 1719), and the Federal 
Land Transaction Facilitation Act of July 25, 2000 (Pub. L. 106-248), 
at not less than appraised market value. The market value opinion of 
the approved appraisal is $5,000. The potential buyer of the parcel 
will make application under section 209 of the Federal Land Policy and 
Management Act of October 21, 1976, to purchase the mineral estate 
along with the surface.

Mount Diablo Meridian

T. 6 N., R. 12 E.,
    Sec. 9, Lot 49

    containing 1.17 acres more or less.

    The purpose of the proposed sale is to dispose of a parcel of 
public land that is difficult and uneconomic to manage as part of the 
public lands of the United States. It is also proposed for sale in 
order to resolve a trespass of Isak Hansen. The proposed sale is 
consistent with the Folsom Field Office Sierra Planning Area Management 
Framework Plan (July 1988), and the public interest will be served by 
offering the parcel for sale. The parcel will be offered for non-
competitive sale to Isak Hansen, the adjacent landowner.
    Pursuant to the Federal Land Transaction Facilitation Act of July 
25, 2000 (Pub. L. 106-248), the proceeds from the sale will be 
deposited into a Federal Land Disposal Account and used to acquire non-
federal land within the State of California. The money will be used to 
purchase lands for the BLM, National Park Service, Forest Service, or 
Fish and Wildlife Service.
    Conveyance of the available mineral interests would occur 
simultaneously with the sale of the land. The mineral interests being 
offered for conveyance have no known mineral value. Acceptance of a 
direct sale offer will constitute an application for conveyance of 
those mineral interests. The applicant will be required to pay a $50.00 
non-returnable filing fee for conveyance of the available mineral 
interests.
    The patent, when issued, will reserve the following: By Executive 
Order for Power Site Reserve 416, subject to Section 24 of the Federal 
Power Act on July 24, 1997. Reservation for ditches and canals

DATES: Until July 7, 2003, interested parties may submit comments 
pertaining to this action. The lands will not be offered for sale until 
at least 60 days after the date of publication of this notice in the 
Federal Register.

ADDRESSES: Written comments concerning the proposed sale should be sent 
to the Bureau of Land Management, Folsom Field Office, 63 Natoma 
Street, Folsom, California 95630.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Additional information concerning the 
land sale, including relevant planning and environmental documentation, 
may be obtained from the Folsom Field Office at the above address. 
Telephone calls may be directed to Jodi Swaggerty at (916) 985-4474.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Objections to the sale will be reviewed by

action. In the absence of any objections, this proposal will

become the final determination of the Department of the Interior.
    Publication of this notice in the Federal Register will segregate 
the public lands from appropriations under the public land laws, 
including the mining laws, pending disposition of this action, or 270 
days from the date of publication of this notice, whichever occurs 
first. Pursuant to the application to convey the mineral estate, the 
mineral interests of the United States are segregated from 
appropriation under the public land laws, including the mining laws for 
a period of two years from the date of filing the application.

    Dated: January 17, 2003.
